I'm not going to pretend to be an expert here, but isn't the point of the vaccine to elicit an immune response from your body, mimicking your body's response to the actual virus?
I would think your body fighting the actual virus would produce better immunity than getting a shot of the watered down virus. That being said, I'm nowhere close to a healthcare related field

No.

How many months has it been and you STILL think the vaccine is something it's not?

Not sure it’s completely understood, but infectious inoculation dose may be playing a large part here. Perfect example: moderna is being shown to be better than Pfizer against delta variant despite being almost identical. Possible / likely reason? Moderna is simply a bigger inoculation.

This is not even a close approximation of any of the 3 US vaccines.
The main issue between the vaccines and natural infection is the vaccines will elicit a less variable immune response across individuals due to the even dosing. The immune response to a natural infection can vary quite significantly. One could have a very mild case where only the innate immune response is activated and enough to fight off the virus and others will activate the adaptive immune systems so you get a specific immune response. This will vary from individual to individual. AFAIK there have not been any significant studies in this area and while tests are available which give a better picture than just an antibody test they are not widely used post COVID infection.
